VS
Arrr, role fit
TopTwisted FateTwisted Fate be normally played Mid and does nay currently have a reviewed Top course. Top most often needs independent laning, durable trading or reliable side-course pressure. Treat this as a deliberate experiment, nay a standard recommendation.
These patches keep recommendation review, build checks and item lookup on separate charts, matey. Fresh item data does not finish a build review.
Unreviewed course
Twisted Fate be normally played Mid and does nay currently have a reviewed Top course. Top most often needs independent laning, durable trading or reliable side-course pressure. Treat this as a deliberate experiment, nay a standard recommendation.
A different course's gear be nay relabelled as true to course. Role income, sea chart access and starting rules can change th' whole purchase order.

TeleportTeleport preserves recalls and side-course access. Ignite be a deliberate pressure trade-off, nay a universal upgrade.
Keep th' defensive secondary runes when repeated poke or one committed trade can decide th' course.
Arrr, matchup notes
Track th' cooldown and range o' th' trick that starts their safest trade. Do nay treat this chart as a statistical counter claim.
Treat Vex as one part o' th' sea chart state. Their Jungler, nigh th' ship waves and which teammates can move determine whether th' same trade or rotation be seaworthy.

Cooldown 140/120/100 · Cost 100 · Arrr, listed range 2000/2500/3000Adapt th' course
Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.
Hold a favourable wave, pressure th' foe astern from farm and keep enough vision to survive th' second foe.
Push afore moving to an prize; arrive through a known course rather than giving up th' wave and yer shutdown.
Use th' lead to occupy space fer th' crew. Do nay chase through th' entire foe formation fer one target.
Keep hull and minions balanced so one poor trade does nay decide th' course.
Move after th' wave be handled and communicate if th' opposing Top laner leaves first aboard.
Pick betwixt front-line duty, side pressure and carry access according to th' champion kit.
Farm nigh safe harbour, avoid repeating th' losing trade and ask fer lend a hand only when th' wave creates a realistic window.
Do nay follow a stronger foe through unseen river. Signal th' move and recover promised resources.
Contribute control or pressure to th' nearest seaworthy target instead o' trying to repair th' score alone.
Pings, movement and prizes
Manage th' long course afore leaving it. A useful move begins wit' a handled wave, a visible course and a teammate who knows ye be coming.
Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.
Push, catch or communicate th' wave afore leaving so th' foe does nay gain a free move and free income.
Use On Me Way fer th' course ye be actually taking and Peril where an unseen foe may arrive.
Move through controlled vision wit' th' Jungler or another ally instead o' face-checking th' prize alone.
Decide whether ye be engaging, front-lining, flanking or protecting a carry afore th' fight begins.
Later prizes: Repeat th' same process 'round later major prizes: handle nigh th' ship income, communicate th' course, enter through vision and agree on th' fight afore committing.
Arrr, keep preparing
